The Illuminati Tension Manager
نویسندگان
چکیده
Tension is a major aspect of involving players in a game experience. Dynamic tension management allows authors to provide a desired tension arc to their game without having to confine players to a strict, pre-scripted path. While this has been previously attempted by a small faction of computer scientists, there remains much research to be done in this area. The Illuminati tension manager is our prototype solution to the notion of dynamic game tension management. In this paper, we describe the system underlying Illuminati, and our experience testing it with Jumper, a simple text-based client game. Our eventual hope is to help such technology be available and oft used in game creation.

متن کاملDynamics of Generalized Coherent States
We show that generalized coherent states follow Schrödinger dynamics in time-dependent potentials. The normalized wave-packets follow a classical evolution without spreading; in turn, the Schrödinger potential depends on the state through the classical trajectory. This feedback mechanism with continuous dynamical re-adjustement allows the packets to remain coherent indefinetely. PACS numbers: 0...
